Remove spring from RB300


How "easy" is it to remove the spring from the RB 300 arm? Is it something a "Newbie" can do with a little mechanical apptitude?

Sorry- I had it reversed.I said to set it at 0.
I would say,Tom is probably right.The spring will most likely resonate no matter what the setting.
It has been a long time, and I apologize for the late responce, and also appreciate you thinking to e-mail me with your question. I have not been on the site for months and I have just recently re-activated my e-mail account-I'm surprised to see I still exist in cyberspace.
That's a whole different subject, and back to the audiophile expereince (something else I have neglected), I am here now and will be answering my emails and threads. Since it has been so long, I am not sure if you have removed your spring, but if you are still interested, I have my rb-300 off of my table presently and would be happy to get into it again if you like.
Why not sell the RB300 and purchase the RB250 which is a much better arm to mod.A simple weight mod that anyone can do and you have an arm that will better both the RB300 and the RB600.There are 2 bearings on the RB250 not just one with a resonating bias adjuster replacing a bearing on one side as on the RB300.The RB250 also has a brass stem as opposed to a steel one on the RB300.If you want to go the upgrade path the RB250 is easy to obtain and ultimately the much superior arm
Actually Stefanl that's exactly what I did. I would watch stating that the 250 has 2 bearings around here, I have been bashed on this before. I do concur that the 250 bettered my 300 I had. At present time I have a 250 modded with Express Machining VTA slider and 2-xtreme endstub. For the counterweight I used the Kerry Audio F2 titianium endstub. I like this combination, and look forward to upgrading the wiring next. Thanks Basement for responding, . I would be interested in knowing how you did it though, still. Especially since Rega has a new arm out(RB 700). Could you give an overview of how it was done, so future audiophiles would know.
